Title: Mullein Flower Herbal Remedy (20 filter bags) – Horst
Description:
Discover the healing power of Mullein (Verbascum thapsus), a plant revered for its medicinal properties since the time of Avicenna and Hippocrates. Historically used to treat tumors, chronic coughs, eye inflammations, diarrhea, and toothaches, as well as to expel intestinal parasites, mullein’s applications have expanded significantly. Modern medicine recognizes its effectiveness as an adjuvant therapy for hemorrhoids, often utilized in sitz baths made with mullein flower decoctions. You can also find it in rectal suppositories and ointments.
Mullein’s potent antitussive properties make it a staple in chest remedies. Its mucilage content soothes the digestive system and relieves irritation in the gastrointestinal tract. It has even shown effectiveness against the herpes virus. Additionally, alcoholic tinctures of mullein have demonstrated the ability to lower blood pressure.
